Sarkodie hails Yaw Siki

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Sarkodie had cosigned Yaw Siki's new song on Twitter, drawing the attention of many of the converted rapper's fans.

Yaw Siki had a close brush with death, which influenced him to become a preacher, devote his life to God anew, and shift to becoming a Christian musician.

The new song, Oreba, which preaches the second coming of Christ, follows other religious songs by Yaw Siki, who now goes by a new name, Brother Yaw.
